It may also work for a big, fly-weight light shield, extending a Newtonian tube. The matte surface indicates it would [may] be paintable. >From Lee Valley Tools [based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada], there is 1/64" thick LEXAN (R) - - [a tough polycarbonate]. It is sold for making templates, etc. for patterns - reproducing wooden moldings, scroll saw work, etc. Said to be: "rigid, yet thin enough to cut with scissors... Thick enough to easily trace around with a pencil, it is also transparent with a matte finish on one side... tough, durable, impervious to water...." 24"x48" sheet is 12.95 CDN$ Part Number 46J86.01. I believe they ship to the US. Lee Valley has always had good customer service [to me].
